I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

That's actually been a long-time meme as well, like with uh Bielefeld or Finland.

They are all Flemish separatists.

Since most of them are right-wing these days Congo isn't a particular topic among them. Even worse, the far right actually cherishes that part of history even though today's D.R. Congo is a francophone country. Nationalism is always self-contradictory.

Like Phlegmish said, putting Belgium on blast for its horrible colonial past is fine. Do remember though that you're continuing an essentially British tradition started in the late 19th century, and I'm sure you can all see the irony there. All empires were absolutely brutal and kind of genocidal to an extent. This is like somehow it's always the US who has to answer for crimes against native Americans while Canada is usually not mentioned.

Bruges is a lovely place to lie about, get drunk, and eat fries.
